Podcast interview script
Introduction:
Bella: And welcome back to Jam FM, I’m Bella and that was Grease
Lightning. To my right I have two very special guests Ponyboy Curtis and Cherry
Valance from the book ‘The Outsiders’. Hi there Ponyboy how are you doing
today? I’m going to ask you a few questions if that's alright with you?
Ponyboy’s questions:
1.
How did you feel after writing your English essay ‘The Outsiders’?
Ana: I felt very accomplished knowing that I had written a whole
book in just one night. I wanted people to know what it was like to live as a
Greaser and what we went through.
2.
What gave you inspiration to write the story?
Ana: I think the inspiration came solely from everything that had
happened to us in the past. The live of a Greaser sure is an adventurous one.
3.
How are you doing after what happened to Johnny?
Ana: I took it really roughly at the time but in a way I sort of
expected that to happen. I was just trying to convince myself he was still
here.
4.
Do you miss Dallas in any way?
Ana: Of course I do. He was and still is one of us. We stick up
for each other and we are a family. Dallas sure is missed.
5.
What was going through your head when you saw Bob lying dead next
to you?
Ana: Well to be honest I was just really happy that I was still
alive. Then when I realised that Johnny had killed Bob I started freaking out,
thinking about us getting caught. I thought about us going to jail.
6.
What made you decide on going into that burning church to save
those kids?
Ana: Hearing the sounds of those kids made me realize that I had
to be brave and help them. I also knew I was gonna get caught for the killing
of Bob so I thought I might as well do something good that could reduce my time
in jail.
7.
How where you doing in the hospital?
Ana: I was really nervous about the news I would get from the
doctors about Johnny state. I knew Dallas would be ok because he is tough and
he didn't sustain serious injuries. It was Johnny I was really worried about.
8.
How did you feel when you feel when finally seeing your brothers
after the whole situation?
Ana: I was happy that I could see them again, and I was relieved
that they were ok.
9.
Were you excited to be in that rumble? What did you think about
it?
Ana: Well I couldn't really say I was excited, I was more just
happy I could mean something for the group, to help them fight of those Socs.
10.
When you woke up from being knocked out in the rumble, what was
going through your mind?
Ana: At first I was really confused because I forgot what happened
and then Darry told me that I was kicked on the head too much causing me to
faint. Then after I realised that we had won the fight, so I was really happy
along with the rest of the group.
Bella: well thank you Ponyboy. Now moving on to Cherry, How are
you today?
Cherry: Good thank you.
Cherry’s questions:
1.
How do you feel after reading Ponyboy's story?
Meg: It made me feel sad because after I read the story from the
past it made me remember my boyfriend Bob.
2.
How do you think Ponyboy feels after going through what happened?
Meg: In my opinion I think Ponyboy was going through a hard time
and still is. I can see how Ponyboy is really upset about losing his best
friend and all.
3.
What was it like meeting Ponyboy for the very first time?
Meg: It was all good, he was very nice to me and he is different
to other boys i have meat in my life.
4.
What was going through your mind when you saw ‘The blue Mustang’
while walking with the greasers as they took you home?
Meg: I was feeling really sacred because i thought they were going
to attack Ponyboy, Johnny and Dally. As they took me home i was wondering about
Johnny and the others if they were ok.
5.
How did you feel when you heard that Bob was dead?
Meg: I am very upset that Bob is dead and he was my boyfriend.
6.
Did you instantly blame Johnny and Ponyboy for his death?
Meg: No because Bob has been drunk and that the boys had been
looking for a fight when they took me home, but Johnny shouldn't of killed Bob.
He could of just stabbed him in the leg or arm instead of his heart.
7.
When you saw Ponyboy and Johnny in the newspaper and how they
saved those kids, what where your thoughts?
Meg: I was happy for them because they saved those kids in the
church from the fair. It was good because it helped them from getting in a lot
of trouble.
8.
How did you feel about the rumble and how Randy decided not to be
involved?
Meg: I didn't really mind it because i don't like fights and i
don't want anybody to get hurt. So I thought it was ok that Randy did not want
to fight, I think he was kind of sick and tired of fighting all the time. i
thought it was a smart idea.
9.
Seeing Ponyboy before the rumble, what did you want to say to him?
Meg: Seeing Ponyboy before the rumble made me feel nervous and
scared because i didn't want them to fight anymore. I said to Ponyboy “you know
Randy’s not going to show up at the rumble, he’s not scared, he’s just sick of
fighting”.
10.
What is your intake of the whole situation?
Meg: I think that the Socs and the Greasers were childish because
they are fighting over nothing. Why can't everyone just be friends and stop
fighting??
Ending:
Bella: Well that’s all for today, thank you very much Cherry. It
was a pleasure having you both here today and i hope to see you again. Next up
we have The Beatles new breaking single ‘Get Back’, I’m Bella and you're
listening to Jam FM.
